Pet Sitting San Lorenzo

About: I've been raised to love animals since childhood, and we've had numerous dogs and cats at home growing up. My mother taught me a great deal about treating animals with care and love. I am retired and am available for cat sitting on weekdays between 8 am to 5 pm. I look forward to doting on and pampering your precious ones when they are under my care. With utmost care and attention in your own home. I know that cats are happiest in their own home, doing their own routines. Their comfort is my top priority.

“This was my first time using Rover and booking a pet care service, and Jocelyn made the entire process so easy and stress-free. She was very responsive, asked thoughtful questions I hadn’t even considered, and always kept me updated during her visits. My dog, Skye, can be reactive and takes time to warm up to new people, but Jocelyn was incredibly patient and understanding. She never pushed Skye beyond her comfort level and let her build trust at her own pace. By the third day, I could already see Skye becoming more comfortable with her, which meant a lot to me. It was clear that Jocelyn genuinely cared about Skye’s well-being and treated her with kindness, patience, and respect. I am so grateful for the care she provided and will definitely be booking with her again in the future. Thank you, Jocelyn, for taking such great care of my girl!”

About: I got my first dog, Cookie, in 2017, but I had birds and fish as pets prior. I took care of most of the toys, treats, food and vet care for him. He is now around 11 and although I've moved out of the family home, I'm helping my parents transition him to senior care level: watching out for his joints and diet mostly. I've since moved in with my partner who has a 4 year old Corgi. He is a friendly, but high energy pup who would benefit from having other dogs around to play with. I sometimes dog sit my family dog with the corgi, so I am well versed in juggling puppy energy and training alongside senior care. I have a hobby photography background, so expect photo updates of your fur babies! 9/7 Mon ( Labor Day): FREE ALL DAY I'm currently mostly available on weekends (Fri, Sat, Sun) and holidays. Only looking to board/daycare one dog at a time right now, just so I don't overwhelm my own dog. May increase to more than one in the future! Mon-Thurs: Daycare/House sitting: None. Boarding: Drop-off after 5pm Drop in visits, dog walking: Nights only, 8pm onwards. Fri/Sat/Sun availability: Usually free all day for all offered services. Limited availability: 8/22: Free 5pm onwards. 8/29: Free 8pm onwards. 8/30: Free 5pm onwards. 9/5 Sat (Labor Day weekend): Free 3pm onwards. 9/6 Sun (Labor Day weekend): Free 6pm onwards. We have basic grooming equipment, if needed, to file nails, shave paw pads, and brush out fur. Weekends, I am able to spend more time with pets, like go on longer walks and visit pet friendly places (if you're ok with that). I have a fenced yard with grass/concrete area and an energetic Corgi for your dog to play with! I'm very respectful in others' homes and will strive to leave everything the way I found it or better. I am super organized and love relying on making to-do lists to keep track of all my tasks and responsibilities. I have a whiteboard dedicated for this at my home, but use my phone when I'm outside or in other's homes. I'm open to both crate trained and not crate-trained dogs. For cats, I make sure the litterbox is always clean and try to play with them if they want. Additionally, I'm always mindful of entering and leaving homes, in case a pet makes an escape attempt through my open door. I'm very detail-oriented, have great communication skills, and take great notes. So I make sure I know exactly the type of care you want for your pet!

“Virgina was excellent with my three cats and provided great updates. I highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve grown up with all kinds of animals from dogs to also small animals and reptiles. I’ve grown with dogs through all stages of their life from puppies to senior dogs. I feel I’ve always been empathetic to what animals may want/need, able to read their body language, always up for playing or cuddling, etc. I currently have a high energy mixed dog that I’ve trained myself. I’ve cared for her through being a puppy, her needs after surgeries, giving medications, helping comfort through anxiety, and playing throughout the day to take care of her energy needs. I have a big back yard if you need day care and your dog would have a companion to play with! We take daily walks that we’d love to have your pup join! I am a stay at home mom so I have complete availability to help care for your pets! I currently walk my dog every morning, but that can be adjusted to fit your needs for your dog to be walked. Because I’m a stay at home mom, day care is completely open for your pet to be at my house. We allow pets on furniture so your pet can be comfortable. Our dog is high energy so your pup can also get some energy out! Our backyard is very big to accommodate any running/playing they’d like to do. If daycare isn’t needed, I’m completely available to check in on your pet anytime as well! If your pet is coming to my house, it is completely open for your pet to feel comfortable and explore their surroundings. Our back door is always open so they can use the bathroom when they want to or also play and run around with our dog! Water is always out and available. If you’d like check ins at your home, I would of course respect your home and privacy. Nothing would be touched unless necessary to care for your animal the way you’re asking me to. Whatever your needs are, I will completely follow.

About: I have been taking care of various farm animals, dogs, and cats since as long as I can remember! I’ve also had pets my whole adult life, spanning from dogs, cats, rats, and reptiles! I am currently a part time college student, which means before 7pm, I have all the time in the world to hang out with your pets! I take care of others pets the same way I do, and i respect that as the important parts of families like they are. In my clients homes, I will make sure that their pets are able to have many different avenues of activity, while still keeping them safe, and providing the mental stimulation they need, meaning lick mats for dogs of any size, and different puzzle games for cats and dogs alike!

About: I have 5 years of experience caring for dogs and cats in the animal shelter environment. I am truly passionate about my love for all pets and can’t wait to meet yours! I am comfortable with different sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I have an open schedule and availability for walks, drop-ins, or house sitting. I am so excited to meet and work with your furry babies! I am a clean and tidy person who stays well-organized. I can hangout and play with your pet at home or take them out for a walk with proper gear.

“My cats love her. She even refilled their feeder and water fountain. Great cat sitter!”

Jade H.

“Katsiaryna is great! She is incredibly punctual, communicative, and we know our pup really enjoys her time with her. She provides us with a play-by-play of her drop-in that’s much appreciated. It also goes without saying she’s also gotten quite a few great photos of our pup.”

About: Hello! I’m your pet’s future best friend! I have a deep passion for animals of all kinds. Their loyalty, playful nature, and unique personalities are endlessly inspiring, and I’m excited to meet your pet and see what they’ll teach me! As a lifelong pet parent, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for both dogs and cats. Currently, I’m sharing my home with two indoor cats: one of whom has mastered the fine art of fetching. With years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, I’m happy to offer services including walks, playtime, feeding, and training assistance. I’ll treat your pet like family, and rest assured, their safety and well-being are always my top priority. I’m also flexible with my schedule, so I can easily accommodate your pet’s routine. I’m kind, reliable, and observant, which means I’m always attuned to your pet’s needs and will make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for in your absence. If you’re looking for a professional yet warm sitter who’ll treat your pet like their own, don’t hesitate to reach out! NOTE: If your dog isn’t the best at making doggy friends or is a little picky about their pals, let’s save the booking for another time. Only socialized, friendly pups please! Thanks for understanding! I'm an early riser so my availability can be somewhat flexible on weekdays. Weekends as well depending on what services are required and how often. I can provide drop in visits in your home (feeding, playtime, medication, etc) and walking services depending on needs. I typically like to only care for one family at a time so they get the care and attention they need. Feel free to reach out to me at anytime for photos and updates. I know I always worry when leaving my pets so I will do everything I can so you won’t have to. I hold a current certification in Cat and Dog First Aid from the American Red Cross.

About: I’ve had cats for about 7 years and have always loved caring for them. I’ve also rescued several kittens and helped find them good homes. One of the reasons I’m majoring in Veterinary Assisting is because I’ve seen how cats are often overlooked, and I want to help give them the care they deserve. I’ll treat your cat like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Since it’s summer, my schedule is very flexible. I do have a part-time job, but my shifts are usually only a few hours long and vary throughout the week. Outside of work, I have plenty of time to care for your pets and give them the attention they deserve. I will make sure your pets are well cared for while you’re away, and I’ll send regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re happy and safe. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely care about making sure pets are happy and comfortable. I make it a point to check on them regularly, give them plenty of attention, and make sure their needs are met. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pets are in good hands.

About: Dogs have been part of my life for almost as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs, and my parents bred and showed Dobermans, so I was surrounded from an early age by thoughtful, consistent dog care and training. With only a few gaps during college and early adulthood, I've had a dog by my side throughout my entire life. I'm currently a dog owner myself, and my dog is very much part of my everyday life. That's also how I approach boarding. Rather than caring for a large group of dogs, I prefer to host one guest at a time so they can settle into our household and receive plenty of individual attention, companionship, walks, play, and affection. I'm home much of the day, so a visiting dog isn't routinely left alone for long stretches. I believe dogs respond best to patience, consistency, clear boundaries, positive interaction, and lots of affection. I also know every dog has its own personality, habits, and comfort level, so I want to learn what makes your dog feel safe and at home. My goal is simple: while you're away, your dog gets to live as a beloved member of the household rather than feeling like they're being sent away to boarding. I work primarily from home, and my own dog is already my near-constant companion, so caring for another dog fits very naturally into my daily life. When I board a dog, my intention is for them to join our household and our routine rather than spend long stretches of the day alone. That means plenty of companionship, regular walks and outdoor time, play, relaxation, and, when it's appropriate for the individual dog, coming along with us on dog-friendly outings. I take my own dog with me frequently and am happy to do the same with a guest who enjoys it. Most importantly, I adjust the routine to the dog. Some dogs love being out and about; others are happiest relaxing somewhere familiar and quiet. During their stay, I pay attention to what makes them comfortable and adapt accordingly. I want each dog in my care to feel safe, included, and genuinely at home while their family is away. Safety starts with making sure a dog is a good fit for our home. Before a first stay, I prefer to meet with you and your dog and introduce them to my dog so we can make sure everyone is comfortable together. I strive to understand your dog's normal routine, personality, feeding and walking schedule, house rules, medications or special needs, and anything that makes them anxious, excited, or especially happy. I follow your instructions and try to keep familiar routines consistent while adapting to what I observe during the stay. I host only one guest dog at a time, which allows me to give them plenty of individual attention and closely monitor how they're settling in. I use leashes and secure handling outdoors, keep food and other potential sources of conflict managed carefully, and never assume that two dogs who get along well don't still need thoughtful supervision. Most importantly, I pay attention. Dogs communicate constantly through their behavior, and I want to notice when a guest is relaxed, uncomfortable, tired, excited, or needs something different. My goal is to provide a safe, calm home where your dog can become part of the family while they're in my care.

“She did a fabulous job! Our dogs love her (and they are pretty high maintenance) and she went above and beyond to even make sure our Guinea pigs still had water. Will use her again.”

About: Hi! I'm Harper and I've always been in love with animals, especially dogs, since I was young. I enjoy making connections and friendships with them, and they make me so happy. I am a dog mommy of a sweet Shiba Inu, and he is my cute BFF. When your furry baby is with me, I will treat him or her like my own, making sure that he or she is feeling as happy and comfortable as possible. I am pretty good at adapting to all of the unique dog personalities, and I'm very patient and gentle towards them. I will play games, take him/her on nature walks, and snuggle him/her. We have a huge dog park within 5 minutes of walking distance so they will sure to have a lot of play-dates! :) Your dog's well-being and safety are my priority. I ask that you bring any toys, water & food bowl, leash and/or harness, and food and treats (if you wish). I currently live in a house with backyard in Hayward. Let me know if you have any requests, and I will easily accommodate to your needs. Feel free to contact me with any questions, and I hope to see you and your lovely dog soon ♡ I'm currently work from home, which means your dog will always have human companionship throughout the day. I'm available for boarding on weekdays and weekends after 7 a.m. I care for your pet just like my own. I try to maintain a consistent schedule as instructed, and provide plenty of playtime with them in my fenced backyard. My furbaby is always happy to be your pup’s new best friend!

“Updates me everyday of specific details that happened during visit. Followed all instructions! I think I found my go-to cat sitter. Will definitely book again if available. Kitty seems to really like her based on the photos. Thanks for everything!”

About: Hi! My name is Adrienne and my husband's name is Edgar & we are both at home full-time. We both have a very active lifestyle. Since adopting our pup Nigel back in 2017 we became the go to pet-caretaker for our friends and family. We both have experience pet/house sitting and dog walking all ages and sizes. Our single family home has a large grassy front yard and a fenced backyard. We have hosted up to 3 dogs in our home at once in addition to our 2 old pups (now 1 since the other has crossed the rainbow bridge). Our home is extremely dog friendly, where they are welcomed on all beds and couches. We have dogs beds in every room, a large fabric dog crate and a small guest bathroom that we can put puppy pads in if your pup requires it. We live in a quiet neighborhood and are a quick drive away from two parks, one with a newly renovated dog park. We love having the opportunity to interact with all pets through Rover. We mostly do this for fun and supplemental income on our free time, so we are flexible on cost and cancellation. For house sitting, I (Adrienne) will be the main one to do the stay, if you prefer Edgar please let us know. We understand how hard it is to leave your fur babies at home alone, and the look on their face when you leave is absolutely heart breaking. We'd love to keep them company while you're away! Your pets' safety and happiness is important, our goal is to create a stress free environment for everyone.

“Giana was great with my two cats. It was clear when I returned that they had a very good time together! She was great with updates and pictures of the fun they were having. She did a wonderful job, and I'm sure you will think likewise!”

About: I've had cats, dogs, rodents and fish my entire life. I have also worked at a dog boarding facility in the past. I'm dedicated to learning your pets needs and make sure they're happy. I work as a hairdresser so my schedule is mostly flexible with some notice, I have two cats that get fed twice a day that I would need to check on as well but otherwise your pet has my full attention. I learn their feeding and potty schedules, incorporate their playtimes in and keep them away from any destructive or dangerous behavior. I am very perceptive of animals and knowledgeable of their behavior so it comes natural to me.
